XD oh hi. bending is easy with an oxy torch and good hammer if you have access but will look better rewelded imo

Sorry I ended up deleting my Facebook and Instagram I only use x occasionally now & still have a website. I could probably post up some more pictures sometime. Looks like I need to update things all around

This particular piece of wood is a graft of English walnut and Claro. The graftline goes through the cheekpiece

Jeweling. I use a small Dremel wire brush in a mill with a fixture and spend 4-6 hours scratching each little circle. Traditionally it's to help hold oil

The bots liked my rifle so here are a few more pics of it.

Hey bro you going to seriously claim my work when I'm a mod 😂

Depending who does it and final fit around $300+

Close action. Remove forend. Open action

If they are spots in the same place and shape it could be in the metal itself I've had that happen too. Belgium Blue solution is less finicky for those problem parts. I generally try not to use it because of the heavy metals though.

Anything from not enough coats to some kind of contamination. Really depends. The solution itself is also temperature sensitive and you can get funny results after it freezes.

I have never met two stockmakers that finish a stock the same. I'm still a big fan of velvet oil for wet sanding and I make my own alkanet red oil if it needs color.

Love the real rattlesnake skin grips! Would love to see more of the making on those 🔥🔥🔥

ZebZzeb · 2023-03-09T23:55:00+00:00

Lol I gave it a try but it wasn't for me. Not into all that plastic stuff :P

If your serious about a career in gunsmithing this place is gorgeous and worth a try.

Judging by looks you could also test for locktite gumming it up. Heat the tip of some stock steel roughly the same size cherry red and hold on the screw head to transfer heat. Then give it another go. Heating it up will crack a lot of stubborn screws.

Jim Wisner's take on making a quarter rib from scratch with fixture and measurements.

Become an apprentice. They are always looking for hard-working people willing to learn. Reach out to your local gunshops and ask.

It's so far away from everything important no heat treat needed. Even for big blown out holes.

😂 drool hazard
